Recently, I have been reading the dispute section and I see the amount of account recovery scams, blackmailing being done. I can't help but feel sad as to why people scam for "pixels". Maybe they need the money urgently, we never know, But I can't help but feel hatred towards these scammers and blackmailers. Maybe they think hiding behind the computer and being anonymous will keep them safe.
I tried to warn the community before that Softarn (the guy who sells vps) was a fishy guy and opened a dispute against him. thread link:http://osbot.org/forum/topic/49838-dispute-on-softarn-scamming-me-for-vps/
After I paid him, he just logged out and claimed to be "sleeping" without telling me anything. He only replied me 12 hours after i opened a dispute against him. However, no action was taken against him after he refunded me. This might be poor customer service and not an attempt to scam, but I think it deserves a TWC or negative feedback at the very least, but it was removed. Today, i viewed this thread that he was banned for blackmailing and thought that if only the community had listened to me this would have been prevented. http://osbot.org/forum/topic/51511-softarn-the-power-activetoday-scamming/
Through all this incidents, I feel that OSbot should take a harsher stance against potential scammers and negative feedbacks should stay and not removed so easily. I am not ranting against the mods of OSbot, and I feel that they already have done a wonderful job in managing this site. I just want harsher market rules imposed and harsher punishments to those who think they can attempt to make a scam and get away with it.
This is my sincere suggestion and I hope Mods reading this can take note of it.
tldr: Harsher punishment for attempted scams/scammers and harsher market rules. No 2nd chance given.
